Notwithstanding the definition of “Call Price”, in the event of a breach by the Member of Section 9.04, (1) the “Call Price” shall be no or nominal consideration as determined in the Manager’s sole discretion, and 2B) to the extent a Company Note has been issued to such Call Member, or consideration payable pursuant to this Section 9.05 is otherwise payable in installments (including any Minimum Annual Payment), all remaining amounts payable to such Call Member shall be deemed forfeited.
Call Rights (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Company shall have the following call rights with respect to the Warrant:
Limited Preemptive Right Except as provided in this Section 5.9 and in Section 5.2, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Securities from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Securities to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Securities.
Put Right At any time after November 15, 2009 and prior to November 15, 2013, any Partner who has held Units for at least three years (the “Put Partner”) shall have the right to request that the Partnership redeem all of such Units. Such request shall be made in writing, state a requested date for the redemption (the “Requested Redemption Date”) and be delivered to the General Partner at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Requested Redemption Date. The General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership has sufficient funds to grant the request, which determination shall be made prior to the Requested Redemption Date in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are available, the request shall be granted, and the Partnership shall transfer and deliver to the Put Partner no sooner than the Requested Redemption Date, but no later than 60 calendar days thereafter, 92% of the Unreturned Invested Capital of the Put Partner with respect to the redeemed Units determined as of the Requested Redemption Date; provided that the sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed 9% of the total interests in partnership capital or profits as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time during any 12-month period may the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period unless such redemption is otherwise deemed to be a disregarded transfer for purposes of determining whether the Partnership is a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7704-1 as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are not available, or if the requested redemption would cause the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership to exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period, the Partnership shall either (i) decline to perform the requested redemption or (ii) perform the requested redemption solely to the extent such redemption does not violate the provisions of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4, to be decided in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Each Put Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership and the General Partner that all Units delivered in connection with the exercise of the put right under this Section 9.4 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, respectively, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be under any obligation to acquire any Put Partner’s Units, (1) to the extent that any such Units are subject to any liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or (2) in the event that any such Put Partner shall fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Units are not subject to any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or shall fail to agree to fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind as well as any costs and expenses relating to the Put Partner’s Units or the exercise of the put right. Each Put Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units to the Partnership or General Partner, respectively, each such Put Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
